Tag Team AU Synopsis – Really Small Problems + Understanding Willow

Synopsis Masterpost Link

Previous Part [Sense and Insensitivity + Adventures in the Elements + The First Day]

Next Part [Enchanting Grom Fright + Wing it Like Witches]

This is one of the big ones. The BIG ones. Big turning point episode here. All of these End Of Season 1 episodes are going to be like that. With a LOT of script screenshots.

Really Small Problems

I… didn’t have anything written for this episode, but I should mention that Tibbles hasn’t appeared in this AU because he’s actually profiting off of selling the Azura Books due to the Azura Incident and doesn’t need to do any more schemes. 

This episode wouldn’t have involved the carnival, but instead probably would have been a Willow-and-Amity-conflict centric episode and a Gus-and-Hunter friendship episode. Originally it was going to be a “Willow gets a crush on Hunter” episode that led into the pseudo-romance arc I’d been talking about for a while, but it never seemed right to me the more we saw canon Willow’s attitude towards canon Hunter in season 3. I still wanted elements of that though, since it’d be important for the Grom episode.

I’m also realizing now that I’m writing the whole synopsis that the Emerald Trio really doesn’t hang out very much in any of the episode descriptions, so I wanted to include a thing that was like “they hang out off-camera please believe me”.

Anyway, Hunter passes out at some point, which leads us into…

Understanding Willow

Which really should be called "Understanding Hunter" at this point.

The episode starts out with Hunter falling into a magical exhaustion, brought by him over-worrying about how to heal Belos. This would have assumedly been built up over the course of Really Small Problems, which I didn’t write, but somehow Amity, Willow, and Gus are there to bring him back to the Owl House. 

Amity and Willow volunteer to go into his mind and find out what is keeping him from waking up. When they’re sent in, they see that everything is extremely cluttered and all the trees are covered in notes. They hear muttering, and come across Inner Hunter, who is surrounded by paper and chalkboards. 

Hunter is surprised that they’re in there, especially when they say that he’s fallen into a magical exhaustion in the real world, and says that he feels completely fine and they can leave. Amity says that maybe the notes are what is messing with his head, and in the process of reaching out to touch them Hunter summons a wall of ice. He warns them not to touch anything – he’s almost at a breakthrough. 

Willow and Amity suggest that they help him out – the faster they figure out how to do the thing he’s researching, the sooner Hunter wakes up. Hunter agrees, and reveals he’s trying to heal someone’s curse. Not Eda’s – someone else’s.

They go through a research montage, failing multiple glyphs and exploding a few science flasks, etc, up until they start asking him questions about the curse.

Amity asks more pointed questions, making Hunter nervously ask what she’s getting at.

Hunter gets angry at the accusation, saying that this person isn’t doing it on purpose or faking it. Amity just says that it feels familiar. Hunter is generally pissed now, and tells them to get lost. Willow doesn’t stand for it, saying that he needs to wake up.

Amity figures this is enough, and burns all the notes and work. She says he’s stretching himself thin to do an impossible thing, and that sometimes things can’t be fixed. 

Hunter doesn’t like that. The mindscape warps slightly as he turns into a goopy version of Hunter, Belos eyes and all (something something turning into the thing that scares you the most as a defense mechanism), and he starts attacking them. They hide in one of his memories to escape. 

The memory they enter is in his room in the Emperor’s Castle. They hear a younger Hunter talking to someone on a bed.

Luz is revealed, as well as her humanity AND the fact that Hunter is the other Golden Guard. They hear the Inner Hunter coming (he warps the memories with mud as he goes through them), so they escape into a different memory, this time of the fight Hunter and Luz have before they start having a better relationship (it’s the same one in the Pre-Show events post)

They leave the memory when the coast is clear. Amity mentions that when Hunter told her to stop trying to protect the person she was hurting, back in Covention, he must have been speaking from experience. Willow asks if Amity was also speaking from her experience with their friendship when she told Inner Hunter that sometimes things can’t be fixed, and Amity says yes. 

They’re interrupted by Hunter, who shows up to kill them, when Amity tells him to stop because he’ll destroy his memories if he’s not careful. She burns the notes on another tree, revealing the memory there of Luz and him learning the light glyph.

Willow and Amity get out of the mindscape. Hunter wakes up, to the relief of King and Eda. 

He drags Willow, Amity, and Gus away to talk privately, and tells them the truth about being the Golden Guard. He assumes the worst, but Willow proves him wrong, saying that Hunter comes before his mask. Willow blushes here a bit.

Privately to Willow and Amity, he also expresses worry that he inadvertently outed his sister to them, and tells them not to tell anyone or her – it’s an important secret to her, and she might freak out if she finds out anyone knows. Amity doesn’t vibe with that, but agrees.

Hello, average Tumblr user, I'm Brisa, and I'm here to bring you a non-sophisticated piece of writing.

Personally, I like to write, and today while I was rereading some of those short writings, I decided I wanted to share one with you.

I want to emphasize that I am using a translator because I personally do not speak or write English, and any corrections or recommendations are welcome. Thank you for your time

Hunter x fm!reader

Summary: Hunter and Y/N go through another miscarriage.

All characters are aged

Warnings: miscarriage, guilt, angst.

"So...what's going on?" Eda leaned on the island counter on her elbows, looking at Hunter.

"Pffft, What? Nothing happens" Hunter smiled fakely.

"Kid, I raised many children, I raised Y/N, King, I took care of Luz and you. Do you think I can't tell when someone lies to me? Plus...it shows in your eyes..." Eda grimaced a little and looked at Hunter waiting for a response. The grimwalker just looked at the table, sighed, took a quick look at the kitchen entrance, as Luz and the children were laughing in the living room, then he looked back at the counter and murmured in a low voice.

"It happened again." They were silent for a moment, Eda didn't understand what Hunter meant.

"The reason Y/N called you was because she was in the hospital" Hunter looked up and looked Eda in the eyes, then the truth hit her.

"Another miscarriage right?" Hunter nodded.

“Where is Y/N? Is she still in the hospital?" Eda asked worried.

"She said she wanted time alone. She...was blaming herself again." Hunter sighed heavily. "She even blamed herself for leaving before you answered the call."

"Ah...shit..." Eda looked down and then looked up at Hunter, who was looking at the counter with his fingers tangled in his hair. The old lady looked worried at the man and walked up to his side.

"Hunter, what's wrong?" Hunter shook his head and sighed, shakily.

"Nothing...nothing" The blonde ran his hands over his face and rested his fists against his mouth, biting them.

"Kiddo…" Hunter shook his head again, this time with tears in his eyes and pursing his lips.

"It's okay...tell me what's wrong..." Eda rubbed the boy's back.

"I...can't...i donno...i donno"

"Hunter, you should talk to Y/N about it, you know she would listen to you, if you te..."

"No, no, i can't...i can't tell her..." Hunter interrupted Eda, while covering his face. "I always thought about being a father, I never imagined going this far...two children, and the idea of ​​having more, I like it, but... I don't want to continue going through this. Seeing her like this, it hurts me, it hurts me every time it happens, I don't know if I can continue and now... Another one..." Hunter shook his head, crying.

"Titan, we can't continue like this, but I don't know how to avoid it either, because...if another one comes, It could survive, but It also don't... And i don't know what to do Eda, I don't know." Eda looked sadly at the brown-eyed man, she didn't know what to do either, the only thing she could think of was to offer him a hug, which Hunter accepted. Eda rubbed the blonde's back, while Hunter released the crying and pain he had kept inside him, not just the one now, no, he released the pain he had been accumulating since the first miscarriage.

The one where both, Y/N ​​and Hunter, discovered that their chances of having children were lower than those of a normal couple.

"Listen, kid, it's not okay for you to keep everything bottled up, I understand that you just want to stay stable, as support for Y/N, but you also have the right to feel, okay?" Eda tried to reason with Hunter, and he could only nod, unable to say a word.

--------------------------------------------------

So...What do you think? Please let me know if you like it. I know Y/N isn't actually in it but I just wanted to share it because it's actually a scene from my oc, but that's not important.

Huntlow Week Day # 7 Waffles/Wedding

Hunter brushed off his forest green vest and slid his golden dress jacket over his arms and shoulder, adjusting his matching bow tie.

His eyes passed over his own reflection in the long mirror that hung against the door of the room where Raine's wedding party changed. Hunter wore long slacks that matched his jacket, and of course, a pair of crocs which he knew were out of sorts with the rest of his outfit -- but after spending his entire life dressing on model to appease a lie, he truly did not care.

Formal attire? Check.

Freshly cut hair? Check.

A little personal flair? Check.

"Looking sharp man!" Steve Tholomule's grinning reflection joined Hunter's

"Sharp?" Hunter raised a brown, "W-were we s'pposed to bring weaponry? A concealed blade? I - I know Eda and Raine still have enemies and their wedding would be a target but .."

"Nah!" Steve gave Hunter a playful elbow bump. "I mean you look good!"

Hunter nodded and added the word, "sharp" to his list of slang words that sounded harmful but meant something good.

Like when Willow had called his flying skills, "sick" the first time they met.

Hunter smiled at the memory. He was a different person back then -- so eager to get ahead. To prove his worth. And yet, he was a possession of someone else. Someone who told him what he should want in life.

And yet? Between meeting Luz, and Flapjack, and, Amity, and Gus, and Willow of course ... Hunter was on a collision course with someone else.

Himself.

"Hey Steve?" Hunter cleared his throat.

"Hmmm?" Tholomule was adjusting his straight tie but he turned around to meet Hunter's eye.

"Is it weird that I'm sorta surprised that Raine and Eda are getting married?"

Steve quirked a brow, "Weird because you're still thinking about how Coven Heads were forbidden from having romantic -- entanglements?"

"Huh? Nah. Nothing like that." Hunter shook his head. He hardly even thought about Raine as a former Coven Head anymore. They were his music teacher, his friend, a truly kind soul -- and someone who had invited Hunter to stand with them on one of the most important days of their life.

But Eda?

"I guess I just always knew about The Owl Lady -- errr --Eda as this free spirit? A Wild Witch who did as she pleased and was always breaking free of -- well, everything?"

"Hmmm." Steve smiled warmly, "Well, there's a lot of ways to be free, buddy? And when you find someone who you can look at and say, 'I'm yours, you're mine -- and together? We're free to be ourselves?' That's the stuff, man."

"The stuff." Hunter took note of the vagueness of the slang. He'd heard it before and felt confident that while he didn't quite know what "The stuff" was specifically, that was probably the point in this context.

"Hey Steve?" Hunter said slowly, "Have you found 'the stuff' with anyone?"

"What?" Steve's eyebrows shot up, "Oh no. You know me man. I'm STEVE. A free agent."

Hunter recalled how tenderly the Bard, Katya had been with Steve just moments ago as she helped him with his tie and pinned a flower on his lapel.

And then, Hunter thought to himself, "Maybe sometimes you find that thing. The person who makes you feel so free that you don't even realize they're yours and you're theirs and that's how you know its real."

The door to the changing room opened and Willow was waiting on the other side, dressed in a lovely forest green dress -- matching his vest and shirt. Her hair was tied in braids. Her eyes were sparkling and her cheeks were red. At the sight of him, a bouquet of flowers bloomed in her hair.

"Wow." Hunter breathed.

"Uh, have you seen yourself guy?" Willow giggled.

Now Hunter was blushing. Shyly, Willow reached up and pinned a tiny bouquet of flowers on Hunter's lapel. He hunter reached into his pocket for a glyph which he tapped and a colorful corsage of fresh flora bloomed before them. Gently he slid it onto Willow's wrist -- his calloused fingertips brushing her soft skin.

Willow's hair bloomed even more, and Hunter's ears flicked as they grew hot at the tips.

Willow smiled slyly and offered him her pinky, which he took in his own and together, they went to join all of their friends and family at Eda and Raine's wedding.

And then? Years later?

Willow and Hunter would meet again on the day of their own wedding. This time Hunter would wear a yellow button up with a blue vest, embroidered in flowers and Willow's dress would wear a lacy dress colored a light sea foam green, with a high color of lacy floral.

"You ready for the ol' ball and chain?" She'd joked.

"Pfft. What ball and chain?" Hunter shook his head.

"Yeah, I kinda hate how people call it that too." Willow sighed. "Marriage shouldn't feel like a prison sentence."

Hunter's lips bloomed into a smile. Then a grin. "It should feel more life freedom alongside your best friend."

"Exactly!" Willow smiled. "So let's get hitched so we can be free together."

And pinky in pinky, Hunter Noceda and Willow Park strode towards the altar together while their futures lay wide open on the horizon.

PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT HOLLOW MIND IN YOUR AU BECAUSE A. I FEEL PAIN FROM THAT COMIC /POS

BAHA Glad yall like it!!

(a Basic summary of an episode but AU flavoured under cut)

So like I've said in a previous post, the au story very much starts leaning away from the canon plot right after Yesterday's lie. Some weird stuff goes down almost immeadiately after Luz comes back from seeing her mom.

Point I'm making is the episodes after Yesterday's lie either just don't exist or follow a somewhat similar plot up to a point. Hollow Mind is one of those that still does happen... kinda

Eda still works with Raine at this point, finding any detail they can to use against the Emperor to show how much of a fraud he really is while still bustin out as many wild witches as they can. Darius and Eberwolf had still caught Eda and Raine in Eda's Requiem, but it was all a misunderstanding, they just wanted in on the plans Raine is conducting. Eda does not apologise for kicking Darius with mud. All this is to say they reach out to Eda when they come up with the plan to check out the Emperor's mind. Eda is very intrested but does not tell her two children because they will want to join, especially Luz.

They arrange a time and place. It's the night market and ,like before, Eda plans to fix Luz's cape as a distraction for the two youngins while she goes out to do the actual work. Prim, the shopekeeper with witches wool, accepts the task, motivated by the several wild witches being freed by a mysterious group. Eda tries her best to sound like she doesn't know who the group is either, but secretly eats up all the compliments.

Eda tells King and Luz they should wait for the cape to finish while she stocks up on more Elixir, she'll be back momentarily. King and Luz shout their goodbyes to Eda as they gain interest in Prim's telling of how Witches wool is made and other enchanted cloth.

After a while the cape is done and Luz gets to leave with her patched up cloak, but Eda still isn't anywhere to be seen. She fits on the cape again to twirl around, temporarily giving Eda's jacket to King. Mid twirl she spots a coven guard prowling about. This makes her worry for Eda even more and she grabs King to go find their witch mom.

After a bit of a search, she finds Eda and the others and accidentally scares off the coven heads since she was wearing her cloak's hood over her head. Luz questions Eda about what all this is, they don't break into an argument, but it is a serious conversation. Luz is upset that Eda didn't tell her about her secret group against the Emperor but accepts her explanation as to why and makes Eda promise that if they need extra help, they'll ask Luz. Eda laughs, yea of course, even if she said no Luz would still find a way to get involved.

At that moment a coven guard spots them, shouting questions on what they were doing in a suspicious alleyway, making Luz take a step back... on the potion, breaking it. Before Eda can grab her out of the circle Luz disappears, owl lady panik time.

Eda goes back home to evade the Coven guards and use a safer place to bring Luz back. The Coven heads greet her at her home and Eda needs to hold herself back from snapping about how stupid they are for leaving the potion on the ground. Right now she needs them to make a spell to bring Luz back.

Meanwhile, Luz wakes up in Belos' mind, pretty confused. Everything is dark and colourless and the trees surrounding are withering away. She finds her glyphs and creates a trail of light to see better as she searches around for a trace of Eda.

This is where these drawings take place!

At first she doesn't know she's in the Emperor's mind, but once those memory portraits start appearing, she connects the dots.

Belos looks just as tired as he did that time after she encountered him in the boiling rain and some weird part of her almost feels... bad? It's weird. However, this is replaced with the rising excitement she feels when she realizes HE'S HUMAN TOO! The greatest witch to ever live?? Is human?? Omg.

King suddenly remembers he has a walkie talkie and Eda uses it to confirm Luz's safety. She confirms and prepares herself as they announce they're just about ready to pull her out. Luz looks over to Belos again, his stare unfocused. What a sad lil guy. "Hey." Belos' eyes focus on Luz. "It's not too late to start fixing things." Belos frowns. Luz shouts a farewell and he pretends not to hear her saying something about seeing him later and she's gone. He doesn't know how to feel, but he's not going back to that dark part of his mind again.

Luz appears in the owl house and Eda makes sure she isn't overwhelmed. She's dizzy but fine! The coven heads question if she'd seen anything important, anything that could help them. Luz thinks. The human thing won't really do much to prove he's bad, so she shakes her head. She wasn't in there long enough. They accept this answer, she really wasn't in there for long and continue to get scolded by Eda (mostly Raine).

[mdhwrites]

Do you agree with the idea that Luz is a people pleaser? Or is it just something the fandom made up to make her seem more likable/relateble/interesting with no real basis in canon?

GOD NO! But that's not necessarily a bad thing as the protagonist archtype she's hailing from normally isn't. The problem comes from the fact that she is so ANTI people pleasing that it clashes with her backstory, rare moments in the show and she also just NEVER LEARNS ANYTHING.

This is also a problem for Randy Cunningham: Ninth Grade Ninja. Him and his best friend make a declaration at the start of the year to be popular. They don't care if they're liked or disliked, the goal is for EVERYONE to know their name. This fuels a bunch of teenage shenanigans that are meant to impress people or make them look cool by the definitions they have in their brains rather than what reality is.

Cookie from Ned's Declassified did stuff like this a lot, Danny and Tucker from Danny Phantom are also prime examples of it. It is just a teenage protagonist archtype for them to be trying to live out a fantasy of being special when the reality is that they're just nice nerds who should be happy being who they are. This is Luz. Period.

And there's two sides of this archtype. The first is the FIRST THING WE KNOW ABOUT HER. They will do things to stand out from a crowd because they think it's cool regardless of if it's right. We are literally shown FOUR instances of this back to back from her book report to the montage of her fuck ups. Each time, she is actively looking at what others are doing and going "Nah. Hold my beer and watch this." I mean... She brought fucking SPIDERS to school and looked at best confused as to why everyone ran off screaming and that's not talking about the play she RUINED.

This is then reinforced in Episode 2 when she tells King and Eda to go suck eggs because she is totes a chosen one. She does save them at the end which brings the other half of this archtype when it comes to their fuck ups. When they fuck up, they fix it, commonly so as to not get people killed but also to make sure that either people in general or those closest to them don't HATE THEM. Now, that might sound like a people pleaser... But it's not. It's seeking forgiveness, not permission. I mean in S1 alone you have her explicitly ignoring Willow's wishes in both Understanding Willow and Wing it Like Witches so that she can have her fun before then someone gets hurt or upset and fixing it in someway.

As a note: The moment you realize that SO MUCH of Luz's character is motivated by tropes she likes or be special, a lot of actions she takes take on way worse connotations. A perfect example of this is when she declares in Lost in Language that she'll be friends with Amity come hell or high water... A minute later she's fucking around with Amity's siblings who Amity has shown clear disdain for. Or you can go with Adventure in the Elements where despite her trying to get along with Amity and impress her, she STEALS FROM HER so that she can get the instant gratification of casting magic. And this sort of recontextualization is ALL over the first season especially of Luz just doing bat shit crazy things because it lets her be cool and she never really learns to stop, even PROUDLY stating in Reaching Out that she'll always choose the option that leads to the most chaos. The most adventure, the most tropes. A season and a half in and instead of growing at all, she is still defiantly against reality.

This is also all inherently AGAINST being a people pleaser. A people pleaser wants everyone to LIKE them. Sprig spends half an episode being a people pleaser like this, even if I don't think it's quite who he is. What Luz is after is just to make sure people don't hate her. At best, she doesn't want people to actively dislike her but she mostly cares about if you remember her name. If she left an impression bigger than anyone else.

But I don't blame the fandom for making her a people pleaser. All of what I've said is based on her actions. By her words, she's meant to be someone who has had to hold back who she is. Who has hid from the world so as to be liked by society. Being a people pleaser IS a part of that archtype and that's where we get "Oh no teenagers" and "I'm gonna get made fun of again" and... That's about it. It's actually why those lines annoy me so much because they happen over a season into the show and she has NEVER held back on who she is for even half a second during that ENTIRE TIME. Even Adventure in Elements isn't about pleasing others, it's about not being embarrassed. Being brought low.

But those are literally the ONLY moments in the entire series where she gives a fuck. The Collector and Belos angst? It's not about how no one will like her anymore, it's that they'll hate her because it needs to be that drastic for her to care. It also makes her less of the paragon hero that she sees herself as. And that's laughable because she only has like TWO moments in the entire series where she actively seeks out a way to help someone without them asking. The cure for Eda's curse at the end of S1, where she's trying not to have Eda die in return for watching over her which is just kind of basic kindness and going after King's stuffed rabbit in Titan Where Art Thou. At that point though, the show claims they're siblings so it's just being kind to your family... You know, right before she effectively tells Eda to go rot because she won't let her go fight Belos.

All the while, she is learning NOTHING. The teenage dumbass archtype is GREAT as a main character because it allows so much room for growth. It's part of why Anne is such a good protagonist because while she embraces the lazy side of it more than trying to appear special, she is still a teenage dumbass. As such, S1 spends time teaching her morals and making her grow up so she can be better.

Luz never grows up. Then again, she'd either have to actually face consequences for her actions or care more deeply about others for that to happen. That isn't going to happen though, not when she, and everyone around her, are solely focused on letting her live the isekai fantasy that she's always wanted.

[thousand-winters]

Remember how Amity accidentally called a teacher mom? Imagine Hunter calling Alador Dad. Dad Darius overhears and is incredulously or jealous. He gets Hunter new gruby uniform cause he's worried Hunter likes Alador more.

It really doesn't help that both of them are abomination users, and frankly? Hunter is used to the one adult who listens to him and guides him gently being Darius, so that kind of mentor-ish attitude Alador is taking with him at the moment while showing him what he's working on (I picture Alador working not only on the sigil removal but on other projects to help overall on the Isles, especially to make up for the damage his creations made + the sort of ableism he was promoting when he and Odalia forbid Amity from being friends with Willow because she couldn't do magic well) threw him off a little.

He didn't even realize Darius had heard that one because he was a little too busy going all red and apologizing frantically to an increasingly confused Alador. He truly doesn't see him as a father figure, he just has a complicated relationship with actual kind adult figures in his life, considering the first one to be kind to him ended up becoming his dad, and then when he was in the Human Realm, he was sort of registering Camila's behaviors with Luz and Vee and the rest of them like "oh, so this is what a parent is supposed to act like" and while of course there's Camila herself, Eda, Raine, and other adults who are actually good and are not his parents, he's still adjusting to the reality of authority figures not acting abusive with their power.

So between that, and the reminders of his sewing lessons with Darius, when Alador picked up something to show him with abominations, the "dad" just sort of slipped out.

Alador is very understanding about the whole thing once he stops being all ??? and Hunter can go back to his normal life just a little more mortified than before, but it's all fine. Or so he assumes, anyway, until he notices that Darius is being increasingly doting and affectionate.

It wouldn't even be that weird; Darius was probably also holding back from being too affectionate at the very beginning because Hunter wasn't used to that kind of familiar dynamic and he got overwhelmed quickly with physical affection, mostly, plus feeling like he had to repay every single gift or thing Darius bought for him. It was progressive, and this almost could pass at that if Darius didn't seem slightly frantic about it.

Now, Darius truly does want what's best for Hunter, and he wouldn't have protested, even if it's not what he would have wanted, if Hunter had preferred to be taken in by another family (provided that they were good people, of course), but at this point, when they're officially a family? And the fact that it's Alador of all people? Please, that man is still trying to repair his mistakes with his own children, he's not well suited to adopt another kid out of nowhere. Darius is aware he might be letting a bit of bitterness slip in there but he's just a little panicky wondering what he did so wrong for Hunter to see Alador as his dad.

Eberwolf would probably be the one to call him out because if anyone knows Darius well, it's gonna be Eberwolf, but if he was absent for whatever reason, it would take a bit longer for the situation to come to a head, though probably not that long. Hunter, ultimately, did learn to read adults fairly well, or at least their emotions, as a survival mechanism, so he would eventually pick up on how Darius seems almost anxious whenever he offers him something these days. Again, it's not that Darius isn't doting usually, but to this extent that seems practically? Yeah, no, something's off.

He's very hesitant to bring it up because he's not the best still at confrontation with adults, let alone his parent since Darius is, in some sense, "above" him in his vision of things, but the question of what's going on might just be enough for Darius' facade of normalcy to just break.

Hunter wouldn't even think it's silly, he knows what he would feel if he heard Darius calling another kid his child, so he doesn't hesitate to explain the logic behind that whole thing, as sheepish as he is to also imply that Darius has enough similarities to Alador for his mind to get all jumbled up.

In the end it's an embarrassing event for everyone involved and they do NOT want to talk about it once they have solved it. They are swearing not to mention it once Eber gets back.

Stepping Stones: Chapter 11

The force of the soundwave knocks Raine backwards, blasting them across the living room so hard and fast they slam into Eda’s wanted poster, knocking it sideways. 

“Raine!” King squawks. “You okay?”

Raine checks the back of their head for damage and then looks up, grinning. “All good,” they promise, standing and re-situating the poster. “That was amazing, King!”

Footsteps patter down the stairs and Luz emerges a second later, her eyes wide. “What was that?”

“King finally hit that high note!”

“Hey! Good for you, buddy!” Luz sweeps King into her arms, twirling him around.

“Oh, it was nothing,” King says in imperious tones, waving his hand. 

“Next we’ll start working on hitting notes in sequence. If we can put together a melody, you’ll be able to do multiple waves of damage.” Raine pauses. “We might want to move practice outside.”

If they’re honest with themself, the idea of bard magic being so similar to Titan magic sort of terrifies them. Teaching King some of the tricks they’ve learned is all well and good, but picturing the behemoth both of them are standing on— King’s father— doing anything remotely like this is deeply unsettling. They try not to think about it much.

Luckily, a piercing squawk interrupts that thought process before they can get too deep into it, and they hold out their hand for their phone to fly into. 

“Hey, Darius. What’s going on?”

“Hunter and I found a neighborhood we want to check out, and we’re thinking of booking some showings for later today. Do you have any idea whether you want to come with?”

Raine sighs. “Not yet, Dare. Maybe look at a couple of different models?”

Darius heaves a sigh that lasts a solid twelve seconds. “Fine.”

Raine hangs up, and their phone flies over Luz and King’s curious faces. “Showing?” Luz asks.

Raine nods. “Now that Darius and I are public figures, we don’t really think it’s appropriate to be holing up in the old CATTs headquarters. He, Hunter, and Eber have been looking at moving to Bonesborough to be closer to Hexside, but I’m not sure where I want to go yet.”

Luz’s eyes light up, and she bounces on the balls of her feet. “It’s obvious, isn’t it? You should move in here with Eda!”

King gasps. “Yes! Then you could bring me dessert before dinner every day!”

“Hey, you’d better not tell Eda about that. I shouldn’t even be doing it.”

“Well, maybe if you live with King you’ll get used to his charms,” Luz offers.

“No one gets used to my charms,” King scoffs.

“Look,” Raine says, “it’s Eda’s decision. She’s been so busy with plans for the university anyway, and it's opening in just a few weeks, the last thing I want to do is impose—"

Luz gives them a level look. “Raine. You make time to see each other literally every day. You spend more time in this house than I do. I really don’t think you’d be imposing.”

Raine sighs. They’re not going to say they haven’t thought about it; they’re sure that Darius, Eber, and Hunter all know it’s the reason why they’re not looking at houses with them. But as hard as they try, they can’t shake the memories of when they were younger, when Eda always insisted on staying over at their house instead of hers, when she always met them outside her door, when she protected her space with all her claws rather than let them see the elixirs and feathers and scratch marks inside. 

It isn’t fair, they know— they’ve seen Eda turn enough to carry spare elixirs, and she takes them from them. And Luz is right: they spend more time at the Owl House than they do their actual home. But they can’t shake the fear that this will be too much, too fast, and she’ll pull away again.

They feel a hand slip into theirs and Luz squeezes it gently. When they look at her, it’s to find her gazing at them with big brown puppy eyes they can never resist.

“Please,” she says, “just give her a chance.”

Raine closes their eyes and lets out a long breath, trying to drain their fear out with the air. “Okay.”

…

The only remaining problem: Raine genuinely can’t get the words out.

They could have gotten right to it when Eda met them for lunch on their hill. Eda, there’s something I wanted to ask you. They could have brought it up when she asked how their day had been. Oh, I was talking to Luz about this idea. They could have mentioned it the fifth time they opened their mouth and then lost their nerve and Eda asked if they were being asphyxiated by their sandwich. Oh, no, I just want to ask if I can come live in your house, but I’m so scared you’ll think it’s a terrible idea that every time I try I make these weird noises instead of words.

So they just laugh it off and finish eating, and Eda stands, and they realize they’re out of time. Darius and Hunter found two places they liked, only one of which has room for Raine, and Darius has told them in no uncertain terms that he needs to know where they plan to live before tomorrow if he’s going to be able to get an offer in. If they let Eda walk away, their decision will be made.

“So,” she says, magicking away the basket of empty dishes, “what’s the rest of your day looking like?”

Raine takes a deep breath. “Well,” they say— in a voice about three octaves higher than usual, but at least it’s their voice and not an empty wheeze— “I’m actually going with Darius, Eber, and Hunter to a house showings.”

“The old Headquarters not prestigious enough for our new counsellors?” Eda teases. Is her voice a little tighter? Raine doesn’t know if they’re imagining it or not.

“It's more that we need a house with better security. The CATTs’ place was great for hiding in, but not super defensible.”

“I see.”

Raine studies her. She knows them better than anyone— there’s no way she doesn’t know they’ve thought about the Owl House as an option. Their anxiety wants to say she’s not bringing it up because she doesn’t like the idea— but their rational mind, the one that knows this Eda, knows that’s not it. Even if she didn’t want them there, she would just tell them. The only other explanation Raine can think of is that she’s scared, too. She might have pushed them away all those years ago, but they were the one to end things. 

She’s opened the door, Raine realizes. They have to be the one to cross the threshold.

“They found a place that has a bedroom for me,” they say, “but I, ah, I wanted to check with you… just in case the Owl House was an option. You can say no,” they add quickly, “I just thought I’d ask—“

“Yes. Rainestorm. Are you kidding?”

Raine looks up to find her beaming, a light in her eyes that somehow makes her even more gorgeous, and they let out a huge woosh of breath. “Oh, thank goodness. I made this way harder than it had to be, didn’t I?”

Eda shrugs. “We both did. I mean, we’re together almost all the time anyway, but…”

“It feels like a bigger step,” Raine agrees, nodding.

“But I’m ready for it. I know it’s been less than a year, and there will still be things to work out, but Raine— I want to work them out. I want to be with you for the fun things, and the mundane things, and the awkward things. Everything. I want you to be a part of my life for as long as you’ll have me.”

“Are you sure? Because I’m pretty sure Warden Wrath is still hung up on you, and he’s got that whole strong-guy thing going on—“

Eda shoves them, but she’s laughing, and they grin too as they take her hand in both of theirs and kiss it. 

They lean forward, resting their head against hers, completely content. “That sounds pretty good to me.”

[dazeddoodles]

no bc darius can receive the most vile, soul-crushing insult from a stranger about his body and he'll beat the shit out of them no problem and throw back an even WORSE insult at them but the moment its a comment about his body from somebody he cares deeply about he's going to overthink it and become highly, highly sensitive - it could even be a compliment and he'd overthink and CRUMBLE (please clarify you're complimenting him otherwise he's gonna think it's a backhanded insult or you think bad of him) its crazy to me how this man can be so confident yet so sensitive at the same time and I LOVE it tough outer personality + soft inner personality darius headcanon <3

"Can be so confident yet so sensitive" "Tough outer personality + soft inner personality" Oh so Raine has a type then (referring also to Eda)

Also I didn't even consider Darius could interpret the "DAMN" from the last comic as something negative. In Eda's flashback thing, it looked like Darius was the tallest out of all the adults as teenagers. What if he was insecure about being so big partly because everyone would casually bring up how tall he is.

Um UM. Because of Raine's stage fright making them self conscious about how they're viewed to other people, they'd pick up on that after being around Darius again in the castle (also them just being observant in general), and start being super careful about how they word themselves towards Darius.

And then cringe when Alador doesn't do the same and says dumb stuff without thinking.

Just imagining how Hollow Mind would play out in the jasper lives brainworm AU, like would he be in communication with Eda directly and be there in the owl house to rescue Hunter and Luz, and then would he catch on to the CATTs leaving the potion to get them out and try to track them down, and confront Darius, or instead if he's waiting in the woods separately and sees Hunter panicking and running away but manages to catch him and talk him down before Hunter accepts and just breaks down in his arms

Jasper doesn't know potions! It's not his area so he couldn't help with this. And he's too erratic to be trusted with this. His motivations are different from theirs anyway- his hatred of belos is personal, and his goal is protecting hunter. He could care less about liberating the isles or ending fascism.

He follows hunter obviously. When Hunter suddenly starts sprinting through the night market at, again, night, alone, he is OBVIOUSLY watching. But he ALSO doesn't know what's happening until it's too late. Hunter and Luz suddenly vanish oh my god. Panic time. Jasper generally keeps to himself unless their interests align but Oh My Fucking God What Did You Guys Do. He is like. Immediately down there. Grabs someone by the throat and slams them into the wall. Probably Darius. He didn't realize who he was cuz of the hood. But now... gasp... and Darius knows he's jasper and he's got those furious pink eyes through his mask. What did you do.

They go to the owl lady's house cuz obviously she's saving her kid. They want to stay secret but... yeah. No. If they don't get found because jasper gets into a fucking battle outside in the yard, they find out when he kicks the door open and throws Darius on the floor.

OUGH maybe here it's like when Luz went in that portal and she was tied by a rope? They can send someone in to get them with some kind of tether and bring them back, and jasper is like absolutely fucking me. He goes in and if hunter sees him he's like oh fuck and runs away from him too.... only for that final fight with Belos where jasper shows up to rescue the kids, only to get struck in the face and lose his mask... and Belos is like holy shit. You. You're alive. And hunter is like. Belos knows you? Who ARE you?

Jasper doesn't answer, he just grabs the kids and they pull him out... and they're on the living room and hunter panics and runs away... and like hunter dropped his staff back when they got teleported so obviously jasper grabbed that. And he's panicking like hunter holy shit stop stop STOP and maybe he even loses him and now he's truly panicking. And he's in the woods panting and terrified and calling Hunter?! Hunter?! Please hunter please where are you! But Hunter keeps hiding... he's confused and afraid... and jasper failed to protect him this time, he nearly lost him and now hunter is scared and confused and alone and he can't help him and he just... falls to his knees and sobs for the first time in years... which hunter hears.... and hesitantly comes out.... and just says... who... are you?

And what can he say? I'm your dad? I made you? I'm the last golden guard? All of those prompt more questions. They're not good answers. So he just says "someone who loves you." And hunter has known this freak his whole life. He's seen the shit he does and like. Click! Yeah... yeah. That makes sense.

And THEN we get hugging and crying and jasper promising I will never let anything hurt you again, on god if anything ever tries I will make them regret having been born. Never again. Never again.

Fandom: The Owl House

Rating: G

Relationships: Luz/Hunter (romantic)

Characters: Luz Noceda, Hunter; MINOR - Amber (original antagonist)

Summary: Even after becoming what everyone wants her to be - quiet, passive, and obedient -, that isn't enough for her bullies.

Thankfully, Luz is not alone.

Word count: 1.989

AO3

TRIGGER WARNINGS - bullying, minor violence, and depression

Luz and Hunter are not canon siblings.

P/roship DNI.

--

Since returning home, school has been awfully quiet.

Maybe not school, but Luz Noceda herself, the famous troublemaker that could never fit in.

You’d think things would get better, now that she doesn’t drive everyone nuts anymore, now that Mamá doesn’t have to get called to the principal’s office to pointlessly help her daughter.

But Luz, at this point, should’ve learned to not keep her hopes up.

Admittedly, it’s different from the Demon Realm, but not better.

Luz is used to the gossiping behind her back. She’s more than used to people looking at her weird. Yet again, she did expect things to change now that she has become exactly what everyone wanted her to be.

Quiet. Passive.

Obedient.

The only “weird” thing Luz does nowadays is take her palisman to school, usually hiding it in a warm piece of cloth. As it’s still protected inside an egg, unsure about its purpose, what it’s going to be at all, Luz needs to be there for the palisman. She doesn’t want it to hatch while she’s absent. She doesn’t want anything bad to happen to it. It’s the only connection she has left of Eda, of the Demon Realm besides all her friends, who ended up stuck here with her.

If anything happened to her palisman… Luz can’t even imagine how much more of a failure she would feel.

At the very least, nobody seems to bother her with that. People leave her alone, despite the whispering and the multiple eyes watching and judging her every step.

Nothing seems to go beyond that.

…

Sometimes, small balls of paper are thrown at her head.

There is some annoying snickering behind her back.

Luz never turns around. Never looks back.

She just moves forward.

Even when the voices are talking to her.

“Hey, Luz! You didn’t bring snakes this time?”

She simply ignores them.

Even when they continue.

Even when they’re close to her.

Luz leaves.

It’s usually quick anyway.

It’s fine.

--

Her mother is not picking her up today, so Luz decides to walk all the way home on her own. She’s not banned from the school buses anymore, but Luz knows it’d be as lonely as her walking by herself, so she decides she won’t stay trapped with her peers this time, or ever.

The girl’s backpack is on her chest instead, so she gets to keep it in her sight, to hold it close. Luz is not focused on the world around her, because it doesn’t matter, none of it matters. She just wants the egg to feel safe to come out.

Luz hears the same voices behind her. The same laughter. She gives them no mind.

Nothing matters.

She wants to do one thing right.

But the world doesn’t want her to.

Suddenly, she’s pushed hard, so much that her things fall off the backpack.

Including the egg, completely unprotected.

Luz is not quick enough to take what’s hers before the bullies do.

The leader, Amber, is quite similar to Boscha. She’s the school’s football captain, and everyone else looks up to her rudeness, especially when it comes to the “weird girl” in question.

“Ooh, you’ve had a dinosaur egg this whole time?” She teases, holding the palisman like it’s a ball, not a living, fragile being.

Luz, though, tries to keep it cool.

“Give it back,” she says, voice low.

“I’m sorry, what was that?”

“Give it back, Amber.”

“How do you say it?”

Luz inhales deeply, trying not to get angry, because that’s what bullies always want. That’s what they’ve been expecting her to do this entire time.

“Please,” she rephrases, “give it back.”

“That’s more like it.”

Amber holds out a hand for Luz to get her palisman back…

“Think fast!”

… Only for the jock to throw the egg to her other peer, and when Luz realizes, Amber’s team plays around with the palisman like it’s a game of hot potato, while the bystanders laugh endlessly. Luz attempts to stop the unfunny little game, to no avail.

“Stop it, you guys!” She pleads.

“What, Luz? Afraid we might break it?”

“YES!” Luz loses her patience, making the other kids laugh harder. “Be careful!”

She’s nearing the point of tears. The girl hasn’t cried because of school in a long time, and she hates that she’s giving in. That she’s letting them get to her, after everything Luz has gone through.

“What’s so special about this dumb thing, anyway?” Amber has gotten the egg again, analyzing it with a judgmental look. “Did you make a lizard baby or whatever?”

Luz groans, “You guys don’t get it, just give it back to me!”

“Whoa, Luz, where’s your fun?” Amber snickers, dodging the other teen. “You used to be so entertaining, and now you’re so…” she even pauses for dramatic effect. “Pathetic.”

Something breaks inside Luz.

Especially as all the other kids agree with Amber.

Luz sees red.

“I'm NOT PATHETIC!” She yells and advances.

The moment she does so, she sees life flash right before her eyes.

“Whoops!” Amber drops it.

“NO!!”

Luz’s first instinct is to take a glyph to save her baby, even when she knows it won’t work.

She’s failed.

Again.

…

In the speed of light, a hand has saved the egg from its cursed fate, taking it very carefully.

“Phew! That was close!”

Luz knows only one person whose snarky voice sounds so completely dorky .

Here, the savior is wearing a plain gray hoodie that covers his head, an old black cloak, and his mouth and nose are hidden behind a black kitty face mask. He really doesn’t look intimidating, yet everyone has stepped back in fear of his sudden, magical appearance.

“Who the heck are you?” Amber asks, trying to sound tough, but she’s more shocked than anything.

Snickering, the masked boy returns the palisman to Luz, who hugs it close to her chest, mentally apologizing to it for being so careless.

“I… am the Hunter of Gravesfield,” he tells the other terrified teenagers. “I hunt nitwits who should learn a thing or two about being careful with other people’s babies.”

Despite the jokey tone, Hunter actually sounds… angry . So much that even Luz gulps.

“Oh yeah? What are you gonna do, Hunter ?” A boy mocks his tone, and she almost feels sorry for him.

“Ah, you know,” Hunter makes a dismissing gesture with his hand, “teach you valuable life lessons. Here, why won’t I show our sports prodigy right here?”

A yellow light passes by, and one second later, Hunter disappears with Amber… until everyone suddenly hears screams from above.

Not too high up from there, Hunter is steady on his staff while he holds the bully by her leg as she shrieks helplessly.

“What are you DOING?!” Amber demands.

“Teaching you a valuable life lesson!” Hunter states rather joyfully.

“ABOUT WHAT?!”

“About how the egg must have felt when you dropped it!”

“The egg is not even real! Luz made it up!”

“But if Luz made it, then it’s real,” Hunter argues. “And guess what else is real? Your broken bones when I drop you.”

“You WOULDN’T!”

“Wanna find out?”

The moment Hunter releases a finger – his little finger even –, Amber is yelling louder in desperation, and the other kids gasp. Luz, admittedly, doesn’t share the same reaction, which might sound messed up.

“Wait! Wait, please, I’m-” Amber tries to say something… “I’m-!”

“Oh?” Hunter tilts his head. “Did anyone hear that? No? Ah well.” He shrugs.

He releases his ring finger…!

“WAIT! I’M SORRY! I’M SORRY!!” Amber screams immediately, at this point crying. “Please, I’ll do anything, JUST PUT ME DOWN!!!”

“Ooooh! Why didn’t you say so?”

Finally, the two are back on the ground in less than a second, with Amber falling on her face. Now, Hunter stands between Luz and the bullies, holding his staff like those heroes from old fairy tales, showing a sense of superiority and respect.

“I hope you all learned something today,” Hunter says, “because if I see anyone here messing with Luz or her egg again… I’ll know, and I’ll come back and make sure you get it through your heads”– he steps towards the crowd menacingly –“literally .”

For whatever reason, he has grabbed a random fruit and he crushes it with no mercy. Luz swears she sees everyone’s souls leaving their bodies as they all become pale.

A second later, Hunter resumes his silly Golden Guard persona.

“Alright, see you never, byeeeeeeee~!”

And immediately after, everyone else runs away the fastest they can, leaving only Luz, her palisman, and Hunter behind.

School is finally quiet.

Holding her palisman dearly, the brown girl can’t help the relieved laugh.

“You know you’re supposed to keep a low profile,” Luz scolds, yet not even sounding disappointed, really.

“Of course I’m keeping it low.” Hunter gestures at his clothes to prove his point.

“And traumatizing kids is your kind of low profile?”

“As if you don’t know me, Luz.”

Although she laughs quietly, her vision is blurring, after keeping it in for so long. In the end, her laughter grows into many, many sobs. Luz doesn’t hide it from Hunter, who is kneeling down to her level in support.

She doesn’t openly cry, not like she used to. She doesn’t think she will any time soon.

Hunter gets it.

Two arms pull her close, so Luz can cry on someone’s shoulder in the literal sense. She doesn’t have to hug back right now, and that’s more than alright. The hug doesn’t last too long, mostly because Luz starts shaking, and then Hunter is wrapping his cloak around her. He rubs her arms and shoulders gently both to soothe her and to warm her up. In the meantime, Flapjack is on Hunter’s shoulder, chirping as if trying to tell Luz that they’ve got her back, even if she can’t understand him.

“I can hold it for you,” Hunter offers, his hands going for hers, ready for her next command. “Do you trust me?”

Sniffing, Luz doesn’t hesitate to nod, allowing Hunter to tenderly and slowly take the egg off her hands, while Flapjack nestles himself in the empty space with his adorable noises. She laughs in comfort, bringing him to her face to snuggle him, as Hunter smiles from the corner of her eye.

Like that, after taking everything that was left from Luz’s backpack, the two teenagers make their way back home. Hunter is holding her things with her palisman protected inside the same way she did earlier, while the girl is not expected to be perfect or useful. Flapjack is half hidden inside her hat for further warmth.

Drying her still watery eyes, Luz has a million thoughts in her head. Many things she wants to say.

“Hunter?” She speaks up, her voice high and young.

“Hm?”

Luz sniffs. “Could we… get some coffee first? I didn’t really eat anything at school, and… I-I don’t want to go home just yet, if that’s okay.”

“Oh, that’s totally okay. We can do that.”

“Okay.” She bites her lip. “And Hunter?”

“Yeah?”

She takes his free hand, her cheeks blushing shyly.

“... thanks,” Luz whispers.

Although she can’t see most of Hunter’s face, only his magenta eyes, she knows he’s an even bigger blushing mess thanks to his reddened ears. Even inside the mask, he’s smiling like a dork in love.

“Anything for you, Luz,” Hunter replies.

In the end, Luz and Hunter are allowed to hold hands, reassuring one another of their presences, their bond. They stand together in the cold and the falling leaves of Gravesfield, against the bullies that want them to stop being who they are.

But right now, Hunter looks after Luz, and he holds the palisman like it’s his own. Like he would kill for them both.

It’s moments like these where Luz realizes things are worth it.

That she’s worth it.

tell me about castor :D

HOOKAY, HI. The floodgates have been opened, folks! It’s about to be walls of text!

So you wanna hear about my son! I have waited so long to tell almost his entire life story here on Tumblr. Many on Discord have heard, but not much has been told on my blog. Today, that changes!

LET’S DO THIS!

(Please note: The Spellcastor AU is still under development and details may be changed)

Full Name: Castor Windchime.

Nicknames: Spellcastor (Eda), Window decor (also Eda, upon first meeting).

Parents: Quince and Layla Windchime (May Layla rest in peace? Still iffy on that decision).

Age: Somewhere in his 40s, who knows.

Occupation: Supplier of potion ingredients (former), Seller of human collectibles (current), Another job that I will not reveal at this time for spoiler reasons (REDACTED).

Hexside Track: Illusions, Bard (behind closed doors).

Sexuality: Pan.

Wild Witch: Yes.

Likes: Storytelling and using his magic to do so, music, Boiling Isles history, cookie dough eye-scream, boiling rainstorms, goreberries, his morning coffee, being with loved ones.

Dislikes: Belos, Odalia, the coven system, anyone who threatens his friends and family, when his ears get cold on the knee, goreberry flavored anything.

First off, WHO is Castor? As stated before, I see him as my son, but in reality, he is my Owl House OC! Originally intended to be my self insert/witchsona, he quickly snowballed into his own character entirely with his own AU in the works. This boy and his story are my pride and joy.

His story is a long one, and while there are a handful of details and even chunks that I won’t be talking about for the purposes of avoiding spoilers, I am warning that you may wanna stop here in case you wanna find out everything once the fic comes out. At some point. Eventually. Let’s go!

While this AU focuses on present day Owl House, from Luz finding herself in the demon realm, to taking down Belos once and for all, Castor’s story began decades ago. Let’s go back a ways… reaches the Deadwardian era Too far! Too far! *Ahem!* Let’s go back…less far than that.

The dawn of Belos’ reign and the beginnings of the coven system. (This is when the timeline starts to get a bit funky but it doesn’t matter much. I am about ramble about Castor’s parents as I am equally passionate about them)

Castor’s parents, Quince and Layla, met in a pretty standard way. They found each other when they weren’t in the best places in life. To start, Quince was forced by their parents to become a scout for the Emperor’s Coven the moment they were qualified to do so. Most of their teen years were spent training, something they didn’t wanna do. Their family wasn’t the most savory of Belos supporters, and Quince began to resent them for it. But sure enough, once the day came, Quince passed coven tryouts and was soon to cross the threshold of the Emperor’s Castle. Rumor has it they even went on some missions alongside Steve’s father.

Layla on the other hand made her choice. Not many in the BI would know it, but Layla was at one point a wild witch. Unfortunately, when Belos set to outlaw wild magic, she feared for her future. Her entire family did. She saw no other choice but to pick a coven, and stick with it. To stay safe. Especially when the risk of petrification grew. She specialized in beast keeping, turning her home into a sanctuary of sorts when she would bring creatures back with her to take care of them.

But of course, being in the coven system was a tough, arduous job. With the power to drain you mentally. Everyone needs their break every once in a while. Quince and Layla would one night take theirs at Grimgrub’s Pub, after a particularly long day. Which is exactly where they met, spotting each other from across the room. Nothing new for Quince, they had met a couple new people this way. The two hit it off that night, an almost instant connection. Sounds like the start of a beautiful friendship, wouldn’t you say?

It soon enough became a blossoming romance, Quince and Layla having to develop ways to see each other in secret, and away from the prying eyes of Belos and the scouts. Think sneaking in through their bedroom windows kind of a deal. By the time they married, they had both been in their covens for many years, and it did have an effect on them. But once they had Castor? Quince and Layla knew their coven days were over. Knowing that it was no place to raise a child, especially once Belos would inevitably get involved, Quince grabbed their wife and infant son, and the three made a run for it to the right arm of the Titan. Far enough away from Belos to at least try to get things in order. Within the walls of this new cozy home that is still under the Windchime name to this day, the family of three started their completely new life.

(Putting the continue reading here because this is when I get way in detail about Castor’s life story. Last chance to turn back!)

When he was a toddler, there was no telling what track Castor would pick when he’d go to Hexside. Later on though, Castor had actually grown a love for storytelling. From fiction and even Boiling Isles history, he found that illusion magic allowed him to make his stories come to life, a clear picture of the perfect scene. He had a knack for this since he was little, it coming as no surprise to his parents when he immediately picked illusions at Hexside. At school he was your average student. He got good grades, practiced at home, went to an after school writing club. Even began to study bard magic once he gained an interest. But this doesn’t mean everything was good. Castor, sadly, didn’t have much of a social life. All he had were a few acquaintances in class.

Other students often looked down on him and fellow illusion track kids for their choice of magic. Not many people saw illusions as interesting or useful. The distaste for illusion magic was worse than in Gus’ time. Most days, Castor was alone. That is, until a certain “Lord Calamity” came a knocking. You see, Eda was an infamous figure of chaos at school, and she had made one hell of a name for herself. It was a common occurrence for students to hear the end result of one of her pranks or schemes at random points of the day. And Castor would often see a yellow school uniform and ginger hair pass by in a blur as Eda fled the scene. He usually tried his best not to get caught in one, not wanting to get in trouble, or at worst, lose a limb.

As you can probably guess, Castor was one day picked by Eda to play a signature role in her latest scheme. It required illusion magic, and judging by the light blue sleeves of Castor’s uniform, she felt he’d be perfect for the job. Castor agreed, albeit reluctantly, and what followed was some of the most fun he ever had. The storyteller and bringer of chaos found that they got along quite well! Castor was called to action again soon after, Eda bringing her sister Lilith along for the action this time, and Eda had set the standard for how things would be for these three from here on out. Before long, they were suddenly sitting at the same lunch table together, hanging out after school, being study buddies, practicing magic, you name it! Castor finally had people he could call friends.

Fast forward a few years, about 7 months before the curse. The trio had been best friends for a long time, doing almost everything together. Eda and Castor would meet in their hideout (the one with all the doors) and plan out schemes of all sorts, mostly just to get on Faust's nerves. Eda had even invited Castor to her house to learn how to carve a palisman with her father, Del. Castor emerged from the Clawthorne house with a small, orange mouse sitting in his shirt pocket. A mouse named Munchkin. Lilith had gotten him even more involved in Boiling Isles history, welcoming him to the inner circle of history nerds. And of course, you could find Castor in the stands, cheering on the Banshees and supporting the Clawthorne sisters nearly every grudgby game. Everything was going to be just fine! That is, until Eda almost got expelled. Once word had gotten out, Castor was the first to hear every little detail of Eda's day at HECK, and thus, the first to hear about Eda's new friend, Raine Whispers.

Understandably, Castor was ecstatic to hear of Raine's bard status, having been practicing at home since he got an interest. Surely, a few tips and maybe even some in person lessons would help him improve on his work! Raine sounded like a charming fellow Castor would love being around, and was really excited to meet them sometime. But what Eda didn't expect was to see a familiar face show up at the lunch table the very next day. Castor and Raine hit off right from the get go, becoming closer as time went on, from bard private bard lessons (with Eda joining in, too), to collaborating on Eda's pranks since they had gotten more complex with two people helping her. Castor's bard skills had improved A LOT, and soon, he would be able to wield and play his flute with ease. Including Lilith, it was the perfect team of best friends, along with acquaintances in Darius, Alador and Perry Porter.

Before long, Castor and Lilith had begun to notice some sparks flying between the young bard and wild witch. They knew there was something between them. Castor thought it was adorable and wanted nothing but happiness for them. Lilith had even coined their ship name, Raeda. She and Castor would sometimes talk about Raeda's pining, with Darius often joining in. Eda and Raine were completely oblivious to their crushes on each other. Neither of them knew, despite it being painfully obvious. Which lead to some folks, mostly Darius, getting annoyed with the pining.

I'd say more, but the next big chunks are the ones I won't be giving. The biggest spoilers possible. But really, what else needs to be said? Castor and Lilith rejoiced when Raeda finally got together, Faust retired and made Bump principal, Castor and everyone were all there for Eda in the first months of the curse, Castor and Raeda's best friendship stood for many years, Castor still kept in a little bit of contact with Lilith even after she joined the EC, was heartbroken when Raeda broke up, and moved in with Eda a decade later when he faced some troubling times. He met King, opened up the Human Collectibles stand with Eda, and felt that all would be well for years to come. That is, until one fateful day...

"And this...well this'll make good kindling." "Excuse me, sorry, that's mine, thank you!"

Was that...a human?!

(End ridiculously long backstory!)

Thank you, and goodnight!

THE OWL HOUSE SEASON 2 HAS CAPTIVATED ME, so here are my reactions/thoughts to episodes 18 and 19

Episode 18: FINALLY MORE GUS TALK!!!! We get so much information about all the other characters I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK MY GUY GUS WAS BEING NEGLECTED!!

His power is so cool, I need more people to be as excited about illusionist magic as me and Gus are! HE LITERALLY CHANGED THE WHOLE SCHOOL AND TRICKED THE HEAD OF ILLUSIONIST COVEN!

Speaking of, the head of the Illusionist Coven being just some wanna be director is fucking hilarious, he is a snob and I hate him with a passion but I want to laugh at him, so much

Gus literally saving all the students at the school too is being SEVERELY looked over right now, like DUDE HE LITERALLY SAVED ALL OF YOU!!!!

All the guards this episode had me in stiches!!! I WANT MORE GUARDS BEING FUNNY IDIOTS!! ESPECIALLY SEVERINE, god, someone get Severine some therapy, like SLAYYY GO BACK TO THE TINY CAT COVEN! GET SOME SELF ESTEEM BACK!

Obviously, i cannot talk about this episode WITHOUT talking about our boy, Hunter.... who was living in the school stage. Listen, I won't judge the guy, he is homeless, his whole life has been thrown upside down, I feel for the guy it was just a surprise! (/lh) ANYWAY, I LOVED THE GUS AND HUNTER FRIENDSHIP GROWTH! From the sharing of the breathing thing (TWICE!!!) and the comforting each other AMAZING

Amity and Willow learning how to be friends again was also an amazing plot line, I love to see how their friendship will expand

Episode 19: THE WEIRD DREAM THING??? AND KING BEING CONNECTED TO THE COLLECTOR?!? Listen, I still don't fully understand who the collector is BUT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THEY HAVE APPEARED IN ONE OF THE GANG'S DREAMS! Yeah, I haven't forgot about it being in Eda's dream too! I am very confused, it seems lonely, but evil, but also just a chaotic vibe, I am conflicted

POOR KING! He literally just found out traumatising news and THEN people keep treating him differently now?? I spent the whole start of the episode wanting to just hold King and keep him safe from everyone, HE IS JUST A LITTLE GUY!!! HE IS JUST A BABY!!!

BUT! Steve to save the day. I am now a Steve Stan. I am a Steve fangirl. If Steve has 1 fan, its me, if Steve has 0 fans, I am dead. BRING BACK STEVE!!!! I adore Steve, with every essence of my being, HE WAS ACTING LIKE KING WAS FAMILY AND- AHHH, best friends your honour, they are best friends

FUCKKK The Eda and Raine and Luz angst was a plotline I was NOT ready for after the absolute fluff that was King and Steve helping people and vibing. SOMEONE GET MY PAL RAINE OUT OF THERE!!! Plant coven girl is literally obsessed with them, tf

Eda just wanting to save the kids, to protect Luz and King- I will admit, it hit me in my feels, Eda still treating King as a kid (AS HE SHOULD BE) and Luz and wanting them both away from danger AHHHHHHH

Luz bestie, I love you, but PLEASE EDA WAS RIGHT

HOWEVER HARPY EDA CAMEO!!! RAHHHHHH, I am still obsessed with it, we need more of Harpy Eda in this show.

AND FINALLY, THE ALLIES!!!! GOD. I am obsessed DARIUS I KNEW I COULD TRUST YOU!!! I don't know if I posted, but I REALLY liked Darius but knew (well, thought) he was evil, BUT NO I CAN NOW FINALLY LOVE HIM! AND EBERWOLF! Didn't forget him (did just have to search his name tho)

OH AND! The Palisman!!! I was going to mention this as I hadn't been mentioned in a while, BUT CARING FAMILY BONDING BETWEEN EDA, LUZ AND KING!!! I fucking love found family. Can you tell!!#

IN OTHER EXCITING NEWS! I am about to watch the season 2 finale episodes! No idea what to expect, but I am literally addicted so will take anything, i am sad I am so close to finishing it though, as Season 3 has less episodes

BUT it means I can finally interact with the fandom, etc etc

Thank you to all following my journey watching the series for the first time

Truth Male! Titan! reader x Hunter

Request from wattpad: Can I request a male reader scenario where (Y/N) is revealed to be a Titan? You can do this with any character.

You've never really liked the emperor's coven or covens in general. Which was kind of ironic since you were dating THE Golden Guard. Not to mention you're also friends with Eda, Luz, and King. Speaking of which, you have plans to hang out with them. You started walking to the Owl House. Once you arrived at the house you heard yelling. You opened the door confused.

"Um, is everything okay in here?" You asked. "We caught Hooty about to eat our mail." Luz sighed, exasperated. "There was a bug! It's not my fault your mail was under it!" Hooty argued. "Whatever I got the letter before he could do anything," Eda said, clearly annoyed. She looked at the letter. "Oh, King, the letter is for you!" Eda said, handing the letter to King. It was black with fancy gold lettering labeled "To King."

King scanned through the letter. "Wait, I think they might be my family!" "Really!?" you exclaimed. You and King were the same species but neither of you had any clue what the species was. "Maybe, we could find out what our species is!" You said, "Maybe we could invite Hunter. Y'know for protection." Luz rolled her eyes. "Are you sure your boyfriend won't kill us or something?" "Please? He's the only person who can really protect us." You pleaded. Luz sighed. "Fine, invite him."

"Alright give me a minute." You texted him on your scroll. After a few minutes of waiting he responded. "Okay, he wants to meet at the marketplace." "Then let's go!" King said. Once you arrived you started to look around, Soon you spotted a familiar golden mask. You grabbed King and Luz's hands and ran to him. "Hey Hunt- I mean Golden Guard." "Hello, Y/n." He greeted. "How have you been, jerk?" Luz said bitterly. "Hello to you too human." Hunter rolled his eyes behind his mask.

"So, Y/n, where are we going?" Hunter asked. "Wait, did you not tell him?" King asked. You shrugged. "Eh, I guess it slipped my mind. So, we might be finding out what species I and King are." "Huh? Y/n, that's a huge deal!" Hunter said excitedly. You giggled. Hunter smiled and cleared his throat. "By the way, we will be going on one of the emperor's ships. So, Luz, please try not to steal anything." Luz narrowed her eyes. "Is it Salty's ship?" You asked, "No, he stopped working for Belos." Hunter stated. Luz smugly grinned and said, "Thankfully." Hunter grumbled something and started walking a little faster.

"Well, here we are," Hunter said, arriving at a ship. Everyone boarded the ship. "Dang, I didn't bring my hat," Luz said. "I think finding out what I and King are will make up for that." You joked. "True, true." Soon a pale, biped demon with eyes scattered around her body arrived. She walked to the front of the ship and began steering. "Wow, it feels nice to be on a high sea adventure again!" Luz cheered. "Eh, I don't know. Last time we were on a ship I almost got kidnapped. And you almost got killed." King piped up. "Eh, what's the chance of that happening twice in a row?"

You walked to the edge of the boat. You looked at the ocean. And, woah, the view was breathtaking- WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT. You immediately backed away from the finger(?)But that definitely wasn't from the boiling isles titan. "Hey, guys do you know what that is?" You asked. "No clue," Hunter said. The boat turned towards the huge finger-like shape. "That's where we are supposed to go!"

The boat arrived by the finger and everyone got off. Once you all walked closer you saw writing on the wall with a triangle shape in the middle. "Wait King do you have that piece of stone, or whatever that was?" Luz asked. "Yes?" "See if it fits!" King put the stone in the hole and it fit perfectly. Suddenly the finger shape lit up. All of you got sucked into a beam. "Weh!?" You and King said in unison. "Here we go!" Luz said.

Once you teleported you were left in the air. Hunter got Flapjack out and caught you before you fell. While Luz and King fell. "Oh, my Titan, are you okay!?" You yell down. "I think we're good!" Luz yelled back up. Hunter flew you both down. Once you hit the ground you saw a figure approach.

Once he got close enough he spoke. "You dare trespass on the scared-" The man gasped "By the huntsman, tis' King! My name is Tarak. Hail and well-met." "Uh, yeah, tis' King!" King then gestured to the three of you, "This is Luz the human/friend/sister. This is Y/n he is here because he also wants to find out what he is! And that is the Golden Guard or Hunter?" You elbowed Hunter in the side. "Hm? Oh!" Hunter quickly took off his mask.

"Your warrior-ship." Luz bowed. "Did you send me that letter? Are-a-are you my..." "Father? Alas, no. Nor is he here. But I did send the letter." King looked down dejected, and Tarak walked closer to both of you. "But by looking and King and now you, Y/n. I can tell your parents were one of us! Both of your dads must have passed down their skulls, didn't they?" Tarak said, "Now we celebrate. Everyone will be happy to meet both of you." "Who's 'everyone'?" Luz questioned. Tarak leads you up the mountain. "Welcome to Titan Trapper Island." The view of the island was beautiful, King gasped.

As you walked you saw many other "Titan Trappers" doing some training and others just doing their daily chores. " Wow! I've never seen so many demons that look like me!" Your eyes shone as you looked through the town. "I know, it's exciting isn't it!" You said to King. "We are Titan Trappers. Under oath to protect the world from giant monsters of death and destruction." Tarak chuckled nervously, "But, uh, not many of us have seen a live one, of course." Tarak started walking and gestured for the four of you to come with him.

"Wait, I thought Titans were extinct?' Luz questioned while she walked. Luz gasped looking up at a huge statue. "Not all of them. The Grand Huntsmen says one remains, so we sharpen our spears until the vile creature rears its head, then a new hunt can begin!" Many other Titan trappers circled you. "And now dear King and Y/n you can join us and become a titan trapper yourself!" "Weh?" "Wha-" Both you and King questioned. "Om my gosh, guys that's amazing!" Luz said, rushing to both of your sides. But Hunter got to you and hugged you first. So Luz just hugged King instead. "Well, we don't know any Titans. But the world could definitely use your help." Luz said. "The Boiling Isles has been having a lot of weird attacks lately." You added nervously rubbing the back of your neck.

A Trapper stepped up. "Any enemy of yours is an enemy of ours." The rest of the Trappers cheered. They carried King away. Tarak walked up to you three. "But we can make no vows. for that, you must consult our elder, that wisest hunter of them all, Bill!" Luz gasps, "Is that short for something?" "Nope, just Bill. He's so cool, he actually met our God the Grand Huntsmen! He's my best friend! No big deal." Hunter looked at him suspiciously.

Suddenly King came running back. "Guys! Look at what they gave me!" He pulled out a huge weapon with a mouth that was actively biting. Luz fell over "Oh!" Luz exclaimed, "That looks awfully pointy buddy.." "Don't worry it's mostly paper mache" King put it down with a huge crash. "...And bone. They're going to show me their Titan Trapper ways, Luz!" "Don't you mean our ways?" You said. "How about me and Hunter go see the elder, and in the meantime, you and Y/n learn all you guys can about being Titan Trappers." "This is a dream come true!" He jumped onto Luz, "Come on Y/n!" "Wait, King, how about you? We can take turns so it can be a personal experience for both of us." King thought for a moment, "Okay!" And with that, he ran off. "Just be careful!" Luz yelled. "I will!" King yelled back.

Tarak guided you, Luz, and Hunter, to Bill's door. "Here we are," Tarak said, "I shall take my leave. Tell Bill I said hi" "I want to talk with Y/n before we enter." Hunter said before pulling you aside. "What is it, Goldie?" You whispered, "I don't mean to sound rude but does this seem a little... suspicious to you?" "What do you mean?" You questioned. "I don't know, everyone seems a little weird. Like why were you and King so far from this island?" "That's what you were here to find out." You said and grabbed his arm, "Now let's go to the elder."

You all entered the room. "Hello?" Luz called out, "Wow look at all this stuff guys!" You and Luz excitedly looked around. Luz grabbed a sword "This is so cool!" After she said that it immediately disintegrated. You found a ribbon-like weapon and grabbed it. it started spinning into a spear shape. "Woah-ho-ho!" It then deflated. "Hpm." "Tarak is that you? How many times do I have to tell you to stop rummaging through my stuff!?" Luz walked forward. "Tarak's not here. It's just us." she chuckled. You and Hunter followed behind her. She cleared her throat and bowed. "Greetings, my name is-" "What's that? Speak up!" Bill said as he pulled the large ear trumpet to his ear. "You barge in like an angry Titan only to whisper like the wind?" Luz walked closer. "Greetings! Uh, these lowly travelers beg an audience with the great...Bill." She stuck her head into the ear trumpet, "Mayhaps we might perchance to venture to."

Bill cut her off, "Oh for the love of- Tarak sent you here, didn't he?" "He said you were the wisest of all the Trappers. And also your friend." "He says hi"You mentioned. "Of course he does. What do you want?" You decided to answer. "I and King decided to stop by to find out what we are. But now we would like to know if your mighty warrior can help stop the attack on the Boiling Isles." "Please understand Mister Bill there are a lot of people in danger," Luz added.

"Don't worry we'll help, but if you think those guys are evil you've never seen a live Titan. The children out there haven't either. Don't know a thing about their ravenous appetites, or their terrible cries! Even their babies act like little monarchs..." He paused, " The last living Titan, I saw it once before it disappeared. Its hateful roar blew out my eardrums, how did it go? Weh!" Your blood ran cold. "So, Titans are always hungry, act like monarchs, and say, "Weh?" Luz asked. "Hey, Bill do you have anything else to say about Titans?" Hunter piped up. Bill led you all to a room behind a curtain.

"This is more of a shrine to the Grand Huntsman. It's kind of a DIY project. But you can see all the skulls of the Titans we've slain!" Bill turned to you, "Say, who is you and your buddy's tailor? Your costumes look so real!" You quickly said, "Hey, Bill we all need to go the bathroom. Like, right now. I'll tell you when we get back." With that, all three of you left.

"Guys, we need to get King out of here!" You whisper-yelled. Luz and HUnter gave a quick nod and you all ran faster. When you got outside you looked around frantically for King. Hunter spotted him. He was with Tarak and many Titan Trappers surrounded them. Luz quickly drew up some invisibility glyphs and gave both you and Hunter one.

As you guys crept closer you heard Bill say, "Ugh, You're taking too long!" As he grabbed a cloth and threw it over King's head. Bill pulled out a knife and raised it above King's head. "Don't worry child we're almost done..." "Then we get to play catch, right?" Luz quickly got behind Bill and held his arms so he couldn't move. "Uhh, did you pull something, Bill?" Tarak asked. "I can't move." Luz threw him. "Wha- Huh?" What happening?" King asked. Luz set off a huge light glyph, grabbed King, and ran off with you guys.

Once you were all somewhat hidden you all took deep breaths. "King I'm so glad you're okay!" "What are you talking about!? We were just about to play catch?" Hunter rolled his eyes, "We just saved your life! Thanks would be appreciated!" King wiggled out of Luz's arms, "These guys wouldn't hurt me. They get me! They know what it's like to be left behind! Right Y/n?" "Oh, King... We aren't one of them." "Then what are we!?" You sighed and knelt down. "We are Titans." You said softly. King's eyes widened.

"Hark!" You all turned your heads to Tarak yelling, "Tis' the wretched spawns of-" Bill peaked out from the side of Tarak. "Shut up and get those Titans!" You all ran away. Suddenly you and King got pulled back. "King, Y/n!" Luz yelled. Luz threw a light glyph in the Titan trapper that pulled you back's face. He dropped you guys while you were high in the air. Hunter flew up as fast as he could and caught both you and King. The Trappers started aiming for you guys in the air. Hunter barely dodged all of them before he hit the ground.

Tarak appreciated Luz with fire. King jumped on Tarak. "Stop fighting! I'm one of you guys." Tarak threw King off. His skull mask came off with King. You gasped in disgust. King looked terrified. "You were never one of us. My brothers and sisters, a new hunt begins today." All the other Trappers took their masks off. Bill pushed Tarak to the side. "With this gift, the Grand Huntsman will return. And I shall ride cloaked in glory above all others!" Bill laughed. "You mean we right?" Tarak pulled out a spear, "You promised the Huntsman would grant all of us glory."

"Uh..." "How much have you been making up?"Luz asked. "Uh- Don't let the girl fool you! I'm totally not lying. Ha-hand me my spear." Tarak stood still. "Whatever, just give me that thing!" Bill jumped and took the spear. Hunter ran up and hit him with Flapjack." He turned around and all of you ran as fast as you could.

Luz found a hole shaped like the one when you first got here. She pulled out the stone and pushed it in. "Time to go home!" You all floated up and began falling. "Hunter grabbed you and Luz. Luz grabbed King's hand and pulled him up. "We can't let them get through!" You and King looked at each other and nodded. "Then step back." Both of you inhaled sharply. "Weh!!" The mountain began to crumble. You all ran as fast as you could and Hunter quickly made a shield. "Is everyone okay!?" Hunter yelled. You rubbed your arm. "C-can we go home..."

Soon the ship came back and you all got on it. Hunter sat down near the edge and you sat beside him. Hunter was shaking slightly. "What's wrong?" You asked. "Uncle must be lying about the Titan. I mean if two Titans are fine with wild magic then..." Hunter turned to you, "But I'm not the one who needs to be asked that. Are you okay?" You laughed. "Oh, ha! No not all." Hunter rubbed you back. "It's fine..." You said looking up sadly at the Titans carcass, "Or it will be it will be."

King’s Tide Promos

The season 2 finale. The final normal episode, before all that is left is the three 40-minute specials. It’s been a long ride, and King’s Tide brings us to fruition. So. Being the finale, we have gotten an absolutely ridiculous amount of promos for this episode, and it airs in less than twenty-four hours, so let’s go through them all. 

First thing to unpack here; the crack in King’s skull. It’s very purposeful in this image - it’s what we’re supposed to see first, with the way King’s head is turned. Perhaps he gets injured? I worry, because it’s awfully close to his eye, and an attack hard enough to crack literal bone is not going to be fun to witness against King. 

Then there’s the shadow. It’s clearly a play on King’s father, who was a Titan and likely the one King lives on now. The destiny King’s been wanting all his life, and now that he has it, he’s not being allowed to help. But the episode is named King’s Tide, and so I’m sure he’ll get his moment. Let’s just hope he isn’t too traumatized!

Next, his collar/necklace. It’s not on his neck, though; rather it’s just laying on the ground. What happens to it? Something that’s interesting is that we have also seen a similar purple glow to this image in Knock, Knock, Knockin’ on Hooty’s Door when Eda in the Owlbeast’s memories battles the Collector. With that combined with the fact that King is canonically connected to the Collector’s thoughts to a point, this is... worrying. 

With the possibly-snapped collar... could King be growing, I wonder? God knows we have little information on how exactly Titans grow to their size, but I wonder if maybe it’s not as slow a change as most’s growth. In the Titan Trapper’s lair in Edge of the World, the Titans skulls all seemed to be children’s ones, but perhaps their small size is simply because they stay small for a longer time than most. I mean, Eda’s been with King for eight years, and though he has grown, it’s not been a very dramatic change. Perhaps that’s coming soon, though, which results in King snapping his collar and having to leave it. 

This promo, which I believe is from the art director, strikes me less as foreshadowing something that will actually happen and more like just a broad statement of some of the main characters. With how much has to happen in this episode already, I don’t see how all these characters would be able to find each other so quickly, but it would be very cool if they do. 

God. I hope this is a scene from the episode. I would be so happy to see these kids all fighting together against something. Amity, Luz, Willow, Gus, Hunter, and King all in one fight?? I would die. Please let this happen. Please. 

Then there’s our very own Rebecca’s promo! A full animation this time, of dripping blue blood, picking King, Luz, and Eda out of the darkness. Notably, they all look fairly traumatized, which is just. Great. 

King’s got the same crack on his skull from the other promos, and he seems to be backing away from whatever is confront him. Meanwhile, Luz and Eda both share the same expression; shocked, heartbroken, and terrified. This simply doesn’t bode well. Notably, Eda is clutching the same arm she was branded on, so I assume her inability to produce Wild Magic anymore is going to be brought up at some point, which, considering that there will definitely be fighting involved, probably also isn’t a good sign. 

Next up is Ms. Terrace’s own; once again, King seems to be pondering what his role will be in all this by looking at his father’s skull - a skull that is going to be the turning point in this entire war, being that the Day of Unity is taking place there. There’s also the bloodred crescent moon floating eerily and pointedly above the Titan’s head, and the airships in the distance really hammer in the bleakness of the situation. This will be the final stand. 

(Something something Collector killed Titan something something)

Then there’s THIS bullshit. So.... the sky is bluer than it is usually. Which probably isn't ideal. But also, this frame just scares me in general. Philip looks far too smug for my tastes, and Eda (or I suppose it could be Raine) seems to be backing up, away from him as if he’s either figured her out or said something else equally horrible. 

Darius looks shocked as well, and I think that’s Eber who’s partially behind Philip. Overall, not an uplifting image. Does Philip’s plan work, and is that why the sky is blue?? Terrified, but we’re not even done yet. 

Then there’s the (assumed) thumbnail! Luz fighting someone, and looking fairly confident about it as well. Given how we left her in the last episode, being on her way to Philip, this place she’s in may very well be the skull. Either she broke free of any restraints or she wasn’t retrained at all (which would be concerning), and she’s either fighting Philip or some more Coven Guards on her way to Philip. 

Also... there doesn’t seem to be any glyphs in her hands. I guess this could just be a frame where the papers have already burned away, but with the fact that Luz seemed to be using spell circles alongside her glyphs in CotH... I have a feeling her palisman may be helping her with this fight as well, given that she seems to still have her backpack on. 

Lastly, we have... traumatized Luz. Sighs. 

Here, it looks like this and the last one aren’t very far apart from each other. God only knows which one’ll come first. Does Luz start out confident and turn to denial, or is it the opposite? Given how she chose willingly to go with Kikimora, I have a horrible feeling that it’s going to be the former. 

Welp. That's it, at least at the time of writing this, and I, for one, am absolutely terrified. Season finale soon, guys.
